Restoration Drama Saturday Times

Restoration Drama
At this time of year there is nothing like the warth and glow of a fire to lift the spirits. A Victorian pub was the perfect building for Owen Pacey to convert into a showroom for his reclaimed furniture store. But having aslo made his home above it, the more beautiful pieces he acquires dont't always linger downstairs for long. Even Paceys dog Missey is reclaimed, she was a stray that ended up at the local police station. renaissancelondon.com

Christmas Holiday

Christmas holiday this year was a great time for me with very mixed blessing, my mum was diagnose with cancer in early December, that was the reason for coming back from our house in India and since then most my time has been taken up with doctors and hospital visit. The good side has is that I have been with my mum much more than I would have normally done, we have become much closer and I feel good that I have been able to help. My family have made time for us all to be together and it was a great time of family, food and open fires and a real Christmas spirit .

I have not shot as much Christmases as I normally this year, this one was not to bad, sorry to sound humbug about it but if you had shot as many Krimbo as I have, you would know what I mean. I just feel its all so false, shops on the band wagon trying to start Christmas in October, sorry I will stop right there before I start getting comments about grumpy old men.

sorry about no post for a while

My next post was going to be my telling you about living in our house in Southern India, but sadly after 4th day there my mum was taken into hospital back in the UK with heart problems, so here I am back in the UK and I am very happy to say that my mum is out of hospital and on the mend.
